Back Squat 2x385 PR I believe. Felt smooth, so hopefully good things are coming.
GHR 3 sets Tough; will work on these.
Lying Ham Curl 3 sets Goal was to get a crazy pump. Mission accomplished.
HS Iso Row 3 sets Wasn’t happy with my back workout yesterday, so hit it again today.
WG Pulldown 4 sets Back is now thoroughly thrashed.
Overall, pretty good session. On the fence about my bodyweight goal currently.

1a. Bench 8x225 Not that difficult. Kept a couple in the tank.
1b. Chins Hell if I know how many. Probably 6 sets of 8-10.
2a. DB Hammer Curls 4 sets
2b. Pushups 4 sets Haven’t done in too long. Need to be good at these come fall semester.
30 Powercleans & Push Presses 4:38 Tough but I did better than expected.
Overall happy with today’s performance. During the conditioning, my tendinitis flared up really bad. Feeling it now.

Hack Squat 8x355
Close Grip Bench 7x205
Standing DB Curl 12x45
Here’s what my diet is looking like this summer. I pretty much eat the same thing every day, unless someone at work gives me free food or I decide to go get a pizza or something.
0630 2 English Muffins with Peanut Butter, Milk
0900 Turkey Sandwich
1100 Peanut Butter Sandwich
1200 Chicken Sandwich
1400 Turkey Sandwich
1600 Peanut Butter Sandwich(Counts as Pre-workout meal)
1730 Gatorade(Training, not sure how much I drink, but it’s a good bit)
1900 Shake(Has a lot of good stuff in it, like 650ish calories I think)
2100 Mattloaf(I’ll explain below), Milk
I usually don’t drink anything other than water when training, but because I’m spending about 6-7 hours outside caulking windows in the South Carolina sun, the gatorade has really helped with cramping and making me feel better during training.
Mattloaf, maybe someone would like to try this, it’s basically the best thing ever. This is all cooked in the same pan. 1/2lb or 3/4lb of ground beef, pan seared. Once it’s close to being done, add in 3-4 whole eggs and a lot of liquid egg whites. Cook all together until awesome. Put in huge bowl and douse with ketchup. Ends up weighing about 1.2lbs when I eat it.

Seated Shoulder Press 7x165
Decline Barbell Bench 5x250
Deadlift 10x435
Great session all around. Didn’t have a spot on the decline, so I played it safe. The deadlift was a pretty big PR I believe. I weighed myself using the broken scale we have, but it says I’m down weight, even though I feel bigger and much stronger. I’m guessing eating more often has just jacked up my metabolism.
6/29/11
BB Bench 7x250, 9.5x225
SMP 5x185, 14x135
Rope Pushdowns Hell if I know
Everything felt good. Staying healthy and eating is still a lot. Weight is pretty stagnant, but apparently I’m looking bigger and getting stronger, so that’s all that matters.
6/30/11
Deadlift 5x475
Wide Grip Chins 6x+35, 14xBW
DB Curls 9x55, 16x35
Pretty good day. Danced all day at work, pulled heavy as hell, and am now enjoying Battlestar Gallactica and a pizza. 4day break ahead.
7/3/11
Flat BB Bench 4x265, 10x225, 14x185
SMP 3x185, 9x135, 11x115
T-bar Row 6x6pps, 11x5pps, 16x4pps
Decided to stay at home for an extra day. I lifted in the local US Marshal’s gym. They had a pretty decent bar and half rack. I didn’t bring any of my stuff, so my grip really sucked on the rows due to no chalk or straps. Bench felt good, but didn’t push it due to no spot. SMP felt really awkward in their equipment, so I didn’t push it.
I forgot you kept a log over here.
I do it when I feel like it. Some call me a rebel, most call me lazy.
7/4/11
Leg Press 6x7pps, 11x6pps, 17x5pps
Leg Curl
Seated Calves
French Press 8x115, 10x105, 15x85
Standing DB Curl 5x60, 9x50, 14x40
Pretty good day. Legs were shaking horrendously during the arm work and made for some extra difficulties, but didn’t really interfere.

Yeah. Pretty sure that’s just laziness.

I keep a detailed log on paper, but I’m more lax on the net.

HS SP 6x225, 11x185, 15x140
HS Iso Row 6x365, 10x335
WG Chins Bodyweight
HS Shrug

7/8/11
Bench 1x275, 1x295, 11x225
SMP 5x155, 4x165, 3x175, 2x185, 1x195
Chins(Alt. Grip) 5x5x+25
DB Curl
Smoked 295. For the first time doing heavy bench in a while, that’s nice. Everything else felt good.
7/9/11
Deadlift 1x455
Closegrip Pulldowns
Widegrip Cable Row
20 minutes conditioning
Wanted to pull heavy today, but body was saying no and I felt really sleepy the entire session. So, I decided to get some back volume and conditioning in and pull something out of today. Feel better now.
7/10/11
Short Bar Curl 9x95, 4x115
DB Preacher Curl
Rope Cable Curl
Dips 6x+70
Pushdowns
20 mins cardio
Felt pretty good today. I have no idea what the short bar’s weight is, but I’m guessing 25 pounds, so that’s what the weights are based on. Dips felt strong. Took a picture for no real reason other than feeling uncharacteristically vain; guess I’ll use it for my avatar pic. It almost looks like I lift weights.
Lookin’ swole, bro.

I know right? It’s all lighting. And Battlestar Gallactica.
